Leaving this morning on a four legged flight to Kenai where, if all goes well, Tony will pick me up just before midnight. Roger will join us a few days later and we will then continue our extensive research into the life cycle of the Sockeye.
It doesn't look like the "bear cubs" will be joining us this year, so we will have to provide our own comic relief. Never been a problem in the past, someone is always going for an unscheduled swim.
Hopefully I will be able to post some photos of the wildlife (not Good Time Charlie's) without getting eaten by same.
Tony reports the weather is perfect there for fishing. Highs in the low 50s and raining. Weather here is still perfect but I must continue my research so my next post should be sometime soon from somewhere near the the spawning grounds.
Till then, be careful out there.
